I TUE8DAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1914. f ?? r SHOULD BE INVESTICi ATKD t From all reports it seems that dy- * namlte Is being used extensively lu the creek, adjacent to Washington In the catching of fish. Residents ^ residing in the -suburbs of the city. c almost eveiy day, U is reported, bear reports of the explosion of dynamite and the surmise is that the fishermen are making big hauls of I the finny tribe. This paper under- ' stands that large quantities of fish j are now being brought to this mar-. , ket through this means of capture 1 The matter should be Investigated at once by the authorities and those 1 caught severely dealt with. There j Is a law against this mode of catch- ^ ing fish and why the authorities have ( not paid tome attention to this matner of destroying fish Is surely an 1 enigma. If the practice continues * It will be only a matter of a few ' seasons before no fish can found , in the fresh water at all. While I wis paper cannot substantiate the > rumor of this wholesale slaughter ' of fresh fish It would be worth while 1 to make an investigation NOTICE I Having this day qualified as Executor of Julius Baynor, deceased late of Beaufort ciunty, N.
